Comment Re:Ai vs Machine Intelligence (Score 1) 432

Oh I don't think so.

If we want to play definitions Artificial Intelligence is just that, sort of like a Sugar substitute including using it for cooking etc.. It works the exact same way as sugar on the human sensory systems exactly like Sugar, but it isn't.

In a similar way to Sugar, Machine Intelligence would stimulate the nerve centers of the brain like real sugar, however, operates totally differently, and on an entirely different level than either Sugar, or its artificial equivalent.

Same thing with machine intelligence the approach is vastly different.

Comment Re:Thirty percent? (Score 1) 432

Sort of like our educational system.

Tons of PhD's who know lots of stuff it would seem as they were at the top of their classes to memorize and take exams.

Sadly when you employ a bunch of them to write an operating system for a tough real world problem, they fail.

But, seem to do just fine as long as they are at a University.

I think the best example I can think of is Microsoft's veritable army of PhD's it employed to kill POSIX Unix architecture on the worlds exchanges. The idea was to deploy Windows on all of the exchanges and replace the UNIX systems they were using.

It not only failed, but cost the exchange in London and New York about 100 times the cost of the project.

Comment Ai vs Machine Intelligence (Score 0) 432

Just for those of you who do now know the difference:

AI is a field of research to develop a silicone brain that mimics the way the human brain works. Most of the excitement for that field went out the window in the early 1990's with all of the Japanese robotic mania.

After the field failed to produce, people had a rethink about intelligence.

Now, we have the new field of Machine Intelligence, which doesn't try to mimic the human brain, but tries to take advantage of what machines are good at: Computational Accuracy, Storage, and lightening fast speed.

So when you are discussing Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Intelligence realize the two fields are very much seperate.

As for the Turing test, I don't think it passed, because the experiment hasn't been repeated by enough researchers to form an opinion of wether or not the consensus is it did pass, and we can stop doing Turing tests.

Comment Re:Yes, good idea. (Score 1) 322

BS.

Monetary exclusions of any kind will not clean up the environment.

What will clean up the environment is to decentralize power production, and authority.

That will do it quite nicely then we can see some decent tech emerge in the free markets to deal with battery technology, homes producing their own power for example.

Until that happens, the only reason why you would want money for cleaning up the environment is because you plan on using it to fulfill a lifestyle that probably destroys the environment.

Maybe jet around the world, own like several mansions...and have a fetish for 3 headed dogs from hell.

is currently not even a finished aircraft, with multiple problems with its airframe durability, pilot survivability and software and avionics that haven't been fully tested yet.

Just the maintance costs to maintain more than 30 of these aircraft in wartime could exceed the total tax revenue for the united states at 2 trillion.

Comment Re:Fabricated results (Score 1) 61

Fabrication typically happens in a lab that just needs more money to get the results previously published.So sometimes, fabricated of the expected results will happen so that more money can be obtained.

Then of course it is a race against time to get the results you got the money for...sometimes that doesn't work out.

But, I have seen that happen many times with science research. Most of the time it works out, but sometimes it doesn't.

Comment "... better experience and a better life." (Score 1) 711

One of the items I discuss, besides our impending burial by an avalanche called WWIII and the technology misused to fight it, is our misuse of technology in general, which i will call rampant consumerism.

Nothing Apple produces makes a better life for anyone.

Neither the factory workers who make the product, or the countires where the resources seem to always attract a terrorist to make industrial goods/central bank...and therefore require a invasion a drone invasion of some kind.

Including all of the lawlessness drone shootings require.

I disagree with Cook's statement this is some sort of better life.

It is not.

It continues NOT to be in fact for just about everyone here reading this.

Technology should be employed to address the human condition of Food, Education, Shelter and Medical treatment.

Instead, we use technology to build weapons, shiny trinkets to enforce a consumerist lifestyle which is destructive.

We are branching out into using technology now to control and subjugate most of humanity so that a new dark age can take hold.

If it isn't stopped there won't be any intelligent life on this planet.

Perhaps we will find out why after half a century of looking for E.T., nobody answers is because Intelligent life tends to snuff itself out.

Comment Guns and Culture who is to blame? (Score 1) 1198

Culture.

It really doesn't matter if a person has a piece of metal in their hands.

Most of the mass murders speak EPIC VOLUMES about the civilization we have created and its values we teach to each other at Universities (We are all just animals, no better than the house cat or any of Darwins creatures for example).

The ludicrous civlization of control, butchery and savagery. Look at the EPIC amounts of crime going on by our own government who can now sign executive orders and eliminate anybody Mr. PODUS demands.

After all, if PODUS can do it, I Elliot can do it to.

You know we haven't been living very long with Nuclear Weapons, or weapons of mass destruction. Given time and if we continue this path of humanism (i.e. Kill God make our own rules because after all we are just animals) destruction won't be far along the line.

We live in a time of massive change and the powers that be are doing everything they can to divert your attention from their criminal mischief stealing your labor, your liberty and your life through the doctrine of GLOBALISM and its enabler AGENDA 21.

If you want to know why Elliot has the manifesto of the typical government official, look no further next time to your next election to understand why seemingly sane people, murder and kill using their hands, pieces of metal or clubs.

Our society is sick, and our leaders are leading us to destruction.

I do not know why I am shocked when I read this stuff when idiots like this who have access to incredible amounts of historical literature on the internet, post stuff like "Can someone please point me to the Right?"

The situation as far as I am concerned is hopeless without mass revolt.

There is just no way you are going to get rid of all the massive amounts of corruption from fixed banks, fixed markets, deliberate acts of espionage by this criminal cabal know as the two party system in the USA.

It has to go, it MUST go or there isn't going to be anything left.
